Way Back When-sday

This picture was taken of us in the back yard of our home in Grifton, N.C. According to Pops' note on the back, it was the summer of 1969.

Stephen is using a watering can to sprinkle water onto the ground and his feet. I'm using a hose to keep filling up his watering can when he runs out of water. You can tell by the puddle I am standing in that there was no drought restrictions on water use. You can also tell by how white I am that those parts of my body may never before have been exposed to the sun. Either that or I've been coated in zinc oxide.

Here's what else was going on in 1969.
